The pipe 8 isthen 7 elevated by mechanism,commonto apparatus of this character, thus drawing a portion, of the glass within'the tank upwardlyand outwardly through the openings provided"- in the sections-v5 and 6, the shape of the glass so elevated being regulated and de fined by the shape of the aforesaid openings,

so that a roll will be produced of uniform and proper contour. After 'the pipe 3 :has

been elevated to the desired extent so that the rolld will be of properlength, the lower end of the roll is separated from the glass within the tank by lowering thechains' 16,

which allows the'weight of the upper sec tion to 'be deposited upon the lower section,

and by reasonrofthe collective weight of the sections, the latter willbe partly sub merged in the glass 2 toassumefsubstana eral openings thereof is subjected to theheat ot the flames emitted byfthe burners 17, which acts upon the outer surface, par ticularly, of the sections 6 and cause the f walls of the openings 10 and 11 to becometially the positions disclosed in Figurefl.

This results inaligning the upper surface ofthe section 6 with the tips of a plurality of burners 1'7, situated circumi'erentiallyfof the tank l. These burners thenioperate to";

project a flame across the uppersurface'oi' the sections 6 between and around the lugs 15 thereof, in order that the baseofthe roll 4 will be severed by the heat of the flames i produced from the burners 17 thus enabling the. finished roll to be readily removedifrom the apparatus. After the roll has beenthu severed the chains 16 are then elevated to permit of the'subsequent elevation of the dipping sections 5 and 6 until the position disclosed in Figure 2 again assumed. l twill be observedv that when the sections 5" and 6 are substantially submerged, the collar 8 will leave its seat? and will float upwardly so as to seat against the beveled walls of the, opening 10, inorder to sub stantially close thegapexisting between the sections and to provide an uninterrupted bore from which the glass may be extracted.

When the sections are in theelevated positlons, the glass remaining within the sev heated, with the result thatthe glass, which may bereta-ined within said openings, will becaused to flow automatically downward by gravity, and by reason of the flared mouth 10 the said glass will be deposited 7 upon the inclined upper surface 9 of the lower section 5, and thence may be permit-k ted to gravitate downwardly intothe tank proper; .By this construction it will be manifest that the apparatus may be used continuously so as to derive the full efiief ciency thereof and without resorting to the expediency heretofore employed of scraping.

the section openings manually to remove surplus for congealed and accumulated 'glass deposit from the walls 1 thereof. By the elimination ot this process the output of the apparatusis materiallyincreasech as will be clearly-understood by-those versed in the art,-and furthermore, the losses'which' have' I it heretofore resulted from the breaking or crackingkof the dipping sections, caused byjthe scrapingfoperation and the variance It will .be understood that it vis not'necesin temperaturee will be largely precluded, 7

sary toconnect the sections 5 and 6 together it mechanically, since thelower section, by reason of its buoyancy'within the glass, will follow the movements or" the upper section. Inlthe modificationfshown in FigureS, the principles of construction set forth .heretofore' obtain in precisely the same manner.

In the modification shown in Figure =5, the

principles of construction set forth heretofore obtain, the only diiterence between the preterred form of the invention and the moditied'form resides in the exterior confl figuration ofthe sections, the 'formerbelngi of annular configuration while the latter is substantially"rectangular, in order that the I same may conform with tanks of that p-ar-' ticular design.
